Unfortunately this clinic has become driven by money and is suffering from poor management-after having been a client for many years I will no longer do business with this center. After calling and getting a SPECIFIC price quote on a surgical procedure for a client, my client got a bill that was TRIPLE the quote. When questioned about the radical difference, I was told I had been misquoted-given the price for small animal instead of large. Instead of honoring their quote, they have chosen to lose a customer-sad since as I told them on the phone, the horse world is a VERY SMALL world and Kendall County Vet Center is NOT bettering their reputation by doing this. Much better would have been to honor the price and lose a couple hundred dollars-but that isn't the kind of vision this management has. One other area of concern is the nonchalant attitude of the mis quote AND the leaving out of other specific necessary items related to surgery-apparently when a customer needs a price from Kendall County they are supposed to already be aware of all the things needed for surgery and just add those costs in mentally. NO WHERE and NO OTHER business could run like this-order a pizza and get quoted a price but never tell you that sauce and pepperoni are extra, order cable and get a price but oh, you want it turned on??That's another price..If you don't care what things cost, don't mind being misled, and don't mind being treated like a number then this is the clinic for you. If, however, you prefer honesty, integrity, respect as a paying customer then STAY AWAY.Read Less

Best vet in the San Antonio area!! Love Dr. Harper! She was recommended to me by my hairstylist and after huge disappointments with vets in San Antonio I took my precious little white Persian female kitten to Dr. Harper at this clinic. The doctor stepped out of a surgery she was in for a few minutes to meet me and my kitten, learn what the problems were that I was facing and took careful observation and review of the documents from the wonderful breeder - even made copies of ...the breeder instructions and care notifications and which meds not to use on the kitten. Then had one of the assistants take my kitten in and went back to surgery. I am amazed at the care and gentle perceptiveness of this wonderful Doctor! She then called me to keep me posted on my kitten, suggested non invasive procedures to figure things out, fed my kitten when it stayed overnight at the clinic and let me know that my kitten was purring and was not stressed out. Did I mention the beautiful serene surroundings of the clinic and the amazing costs? High world class vet who actually cares about your pet and not ripping you off! They have any equipment they might need and have a clinic that others do not match to in care, procedures offered, and best veterinary help your pet can get. I am truly amazed and blessed to finally find my vet for life!! For any upcoming pets I will have and for my little princess Persian white kitten. We are happy!! Thank you my friend and hairstylist and thank you Dr. Harper!! You both are treasures!! Ver más Read Less

Last month our baby Smokey was hit by a car and badly injured. Our normal vet, who is not set up to handle emergency cases, suggested we take her to Kendall County Vet Center up the road. The staff was waiting for us and immediately set to work taking care of her. Unfortunately, her left front leg was so badly damaged, it needed to be amputated. Dr Harper and the entire staff were so kind. They did a wonderful job on the surgery, kept us well informed of what was happening, and kept Smokey very comfortable. She's now almost a month post-op and doing wonderfully! I highly recommend this pet hospital! Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and kindness during a difficult time!! Read Less

Dr Allison Harper/Goncalves treated my little rescue horse twice, once at the barn the day I got her home and again about a month later when it looked like she had a broken bone for which she was transported to Kendall County Equine for x-Rays and treatment. For this second visit/treatment, Dr G spent the entire afternoon with my horse, first at the barn, then at the clinic, and then waited after hours for me to get there from work. She is very knowledgeable and patient, both with the horses and their owners. On both visits she not only treated the horse, but took the time to answer questions and to suggest ancillary treatments that would help her condition. The cost both times was more than fair - less than I had expected. Read Less

I've heard great things about most of the doctors here, however my recent experience with Dr. Alison Harper/Gonsalves (people refer to her as "Dr. G") was pretty sub-par. I took in my dog for his periodic general check up and some booster shots. Dr. G came off as very nice, but the $25 general wellness exam consisted of her listening to his heart for about five seconds, then asking ME if I though anything was wrong with him. Nothing more. She didn't even seem to notice the large allergenic rash on his stomach until I pointed it out. She then brought out a syringe and stated that we were going to do a test for heartworms. I asked if the test cost anything, as he was already on a heartworm preventative, to which she replied "If the test comes out positive, Trifexis will pay for the treatment", which I took to mean that the test was free or nearly so. A few minutes later, the test results came out as negative, as expected, and the appointment was over. Total time Dr. G spent with my dog was probably less than 15 minutes, and I was kinda surprised when I was told the appointment was over already, as I felt hardly anything had actually been done as far as the wellness exam, and in hindsight I should have said something about it right then and there. I stepped out to the waiting room to pay for the visit, only to find that the heartworm test that I hadn't really wanted to do in the first place, and was lead to believe wasn't an extra charge with Dr. G's dodge of an answer, actually cost $25 dollars. I told the clerk that Dr. G didn't say that it actually cost anything when I asked about the price, and that I hadn't even asked for it in the first place, and nicely asked if it could be removed from the bill. The clerk stepped around the corner into the back room where I heard her talking to Dr. G (who apparently couldn't be bothered to step around the corner and talk to me herself) and came back a minute later and said it had to stay on the bill because the test had already been "performed" (I'd like to point out that the entire test merely requires a few drops of blood to be drawn, then dropped onto a disposable tab that then indicates positive or negative. There's no labwork or anything, and the whole thing was done on the exam room table in a matter of minutes, most of which were spent just waiting for the tablet react and indicate yes or no.) After calmly arguing for a minute and getting no where, I decided to cut my losses and just pay the bill and go to a different vet next time. I left feeling like I'd just been swindled, and worst off, like my dog didn't actually get a proper examination. Of my ~$100 bill for that day, $50 of it was for a superfluous test that I didn't even ask for, and for Dr. G to spend all of five seconds listening to my dog's heart. After mentioning my regretful experience to my friend that had originally recommended Kendall County Vet to me, she told me that she'd had similar experiences on several occasions with Dr. G, and that she now specifically requests to not be scheduled with her when setting up appointments. Again, this review only concerns Dr. Alison Harper/Gonsalves ("Dr. G"), I can't speak for the other veterinarians at this center. Read Less

Where to begin. I have had several life and death emergencies with my animals and My Clinic, Doctors and staff performed outstanding. Professional and compassionate helping me to make the right decisions that are so hard for owners to make. I've been on both the happy and sad end of being a client this group is the Best Team in our Area. From my horses to my dogs and cats. Each and everyone is known by the staff and Doctors and not just why they're there. They remember the special little things about your animals. Horses don't know where my Scoot would be these days with out the team work of Dr. Nichols, Dr. Harper and Dr. Kirkpatrick. Lameness exams, X-Rays and Acupuncture. I have my horse back looking forward to a new year of competing ahead. Not enough said but sure your tired of reading. My list goes on back to Dr. Jones and his first weeks at the clinic back around 2004. Great Team, Great Place to take your animals and know when you leave you have the correct treatments and diagnosis. Oh yes be sure to follow all your doctors orders for your animals and finish all their medications as directed.Read Less

These people are wonderful! I had an emergency & wouldn't make it by closing time. The vet stayed and waited for me. Dr. Rodenbeck, thoroughly examined my colt and walked me through everything step by step. He didn't rush like most would. The next day Dr. Garza took over and the same thing. He was great. Explained everything really well and was extremely helpful. Due to concerns of infection the clinic went over and above to ensure my colt was well taken care of. The office staff is equally as cordial and efficient!! I traveled from far west san antonio at the recommendation of a friend. Despite the travel time, I will most definately use them again!!

Dr Allison Harper/Goncalves treated my little rescue horse twice, once at the barn the day I got her home and again about a month later when it looked like she had a broken bone for which she was transported to Kendall County Equine for x-Rays and treatment. For this second visit/treatment, Dr G spent the entire afternoon with my horse, first at the barn, then at the clinic, and then waited after hours for me to get there from work. She is very knowledgeable and patient, both with the horses and their owners. On both visits she not only treated the horse, but took the time to answer questions and to suggest ancillary treatments that would help her condition. The cost both times was more than fair - less than I had expected. Read Less

I've heard great things about most of the doctors here, however my recent experience with Dr. Alison Harper/Gonsalves (people refer to her as "Dr. G") was pretty sub-par. I took in my dog for his periodic general check up and some booster shots. Dr. G came off as very nice, but the $25 general wellness exam consisted of her listening to his heart for about five seconds, then asking ME if I though anything was wrong with him. Nothing more. She didn't even seem to notice the large allergenic rash on his stomach until I pointed it out. She then brought out a syringe and stated that we were going to do a test for heartworms. I asked if the test cost anything, as he was already on a heartworm preventative, to which she replied "If the test comes out positive, Trifexis will pay for the treatment", which I took to mean that the test was free or nearly so. A few minutes later, the test results came out as negative, as expected, and the appointment was over. Total time Dr. G spent with my dog was probably less than 15 minutes, and I was kinda surprised when I was told the appointment was over already, as I felt hardly anything had actually been done as far as the wellness exam, and in hindsight I should have said something about it right then and there. I stepped out to the waiting room to pay for the visit, only to find that the heartworm test that I hadn't really wanted to do in the first place, and was lead to believe wasn't an extra charge with Dr. G's dodge of an answer, actually cost $25 dollars. I told the clerk that Dr. G didn't say that it actually cost anything when I asked about the price, and that I hadn't even asked for it in the first place, and nicely asked if it could be removed from the bill. The clerk stepped around the corner into the back room where I heard her talking to Dr. G (who apparently couldn't be bothered to step around the corner and talk to me herself) and came back a minute later and said it had to stay on the bill because the test had already been "performed" (I'd like to point out that the entire test merely requires a few drops of blood to be drawn, then dropped onto a disposable tab that then indicates positive or negative. There's no labwork or anything, and the whole thing was done on the exam room table in a matter of minutes, most of which were spent just waiting for the tablet react and indicate yes or no.) After calmly arguing for a minute and getting no where, I decided to cut my losses and just pay the bill and go to a different vet next time. I left feeling like I'd just been swindled, and worst off, like my dog didn't actually get a proper examination. Of my ~$100 bill for that day, $50 of it was for a superfluous test that I didn't even ask for, and for Dr. G to spend all of five seconds listening to my dog's heart. After mentioning my regretful experience to my friend that had originally recommended Kendall County Vet to me, she told me that she'd had similar experiences on several occasions with Dr. G, and that she now specifically requests to not be scheduled with her when setting up appointments. Again, this review only concerns Dr. Alison Harper/Gonsalves ("Dr. G"), I can't speak for the other veterinarians at this center. Read Less

The staff is wonderful. This was my first unplanned visit to a vet with my horse and I was very worried. Dr. Harper is just fantastic and everyone is super friendly. And I really felt my blood pressure go down when I got the bill! Very happy. I hope we don't have to go back any time soon, but if we do, I'll know my mare is in very good hands. Read Less

Where to begin. I have had several life and death emergencies with my animals and My Clinic, Doctors and staff performed outstanding. Professional and compassionate helping me to make the right decisions that are so hard for owners to make. I've been on both the happy and sad end of being a client this group is the Best Team in our Area. From my horses to my dogs and cats. Each and everyone is known by the staff and Doctors and not just why they're there. They remember the special little things about your animals. Horses don't know where my Scoot would be these days with out the team work of Dr. Nichols, Dr. Harper and Dr. Kirkpatrick. Lameness exams, X-Rays and Acupuncture. I have my horse back looking forward to a new year of competing ahead. Not enough said but sure your tired of reading. My list goes on back to Dr. Jones and his first weeks at the clinic back around 2004. Great Team, Great Place to take your animals and know when you leave you have the correct treatments and diagnosis. Oh yes be sure to follow all your doctors orders for your animals and finish all their medications as directed.Read Less

These people are wonderful! I had an emergency & wouldn't make it by closing time. The vet stayed and waited for me. Dr. Rodenbeck, thoroughly examined my colt and walked me through everything step by step. He didn't rush like most would. The next day Dr. Garza took over and the same thing. He was great. Explained everything really well and was extremely helpful. Due to concerns of infection the clinic went over and above to ensure my colt was well taken care of. The office staff is equally as cordial and efficient!! I traveled from far west san antonio at the recommendation of a friend. Despite the travel time, I will most definately use them again!!
